An hour later, Qiao Liang arrived at the entrance of the Ultimate Horror with the golden lantern in hand.
Everyone cheered him on.
"Come on, Old Qiao, you can do it!"
"Don't worry, it won't be that scary once you get used to it."
"Even a timid person like me can do it. You'll definitely be fine."
The last sentence was obviously from Ruan Guangjian. Qiao Liang rolled his eyes, not believing a single word of it.
After leaving the Golden Maze, Qiao Liang headed straight to the Haunted House Nightmare to challenge it again.
He did not know if it was because he had already challenged it once and was more mentally prepared, or because he was inspired by everyone's spirit, especially Boss Pei's friendship, but the process was very smooth this time.
He might have missed two or three small details, but there was no problem with the overall completion rate. He successfully obtained the admission ticket from the staff.
Thus, he arrived at the entrance of the Ultimate Horror, ready to meet his destiny.
He was very flustered, and he could only hold on to the golden lantern in his hand as if it was his life-saving straw.
"I'm going! Wait for the news of my triumphant return! "
Qiao Liang waved goodbye to everyone and stepped into the Ultimate Horror.
Once he entered, the visibility dropped sharply. The walls were lit with a dim yellow light, and the paint on the walls was peeling. The posters were corroded, and dried blood mixed with white gel and other flocculent substances created a terrifying atmosphere in the surrounding environment.
A girl wearing a mask and a nurse's uniform was covered in blood. She sat behind a dilapidated hospital desk, her hands hidden under the desk, her head lowered, and her long hair covered her entire face. She blended in perfectly with the entire scene. Qiao Liang did not notice her at first. He almost thought that she was a prop to disguise herself as a corpse.
However, after looking around, he realized that what looked like a front desk seemed to be the only way to get in.
Qiao Liang silently lit the golden lantern and then walked to the hospital desk.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, the nurse suddenly raised her head in an extremely stiff posture!
Her eyes were bloodshot, and there seemed to be a hideous wound on her forehead. Blood was also seeping out of her mask, which seemed to be where her mouth should be. There were clear bite marks on her neck, and black blood was seeping out of them.
Qiao Liang sucked in a breath of cold air.
How could a receptionist be so professional?
The zombie girl at the front desk didn't say anything. She just stretched out her hand stiffly.
Her hands were also covered in makeup. The skin on her hands was peeled off, revealing dark red wounds that were stained with blood.
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. He quickly handed over the admission ticket he had obtained from Haunted House Nightmare.
There was a photo on the admission ticket. After the zombie lady confirmed that it was her, she took out a disclaimer from the table and handed it to Qiao Liang to sign.
There were many detailed terms on this disclaimer. It also asked if Qiao Liang had heart disease and other related diseases. He had to answer truthfully.
Qiao Liang ticked the relevant option, signed it, and handed it back.
Thriller Hostel was actually safer than the average haunted house because the horror level of the three major projects would increase gradually. Any player who could clear Haunted House Nightmare had proven that their health and mental fortitude were strong enough to withstand this level of shock. They had reduced the already low probability of accidents to a minimum.
The zombie girl stiffly took the disclaimer again. She read it carefully and then put it away.
After that, the zombie girl slowly took out a key and placed it on the table.
Qiao Liang picked up the key nervously. "Is … is there anything to take note of?"
The zombie girl didn't answer. She only stared at him with bloodshot eyes.
Qiao Liang: "…"
He silently opened the door with the key and walked into a dark corridor.
Qiao Liang had heard from Chen Kangtuo before that the entire Ultimate Horror project was in a huge factory. It was a ring-shaped structure. Such a dark and cramped corridor should be used to connect the various smaller projects.
Although the setting of the corridor looked old and scary, it was nothing compared to the horror he had experienced in Haunted House Nightmare.
Obviously, the horror level of the Ultimate Horror was gradual. The tourists who came here after Haunted House Nightmare could adapt well in the early stages. They would not be scared away immediately.
There was another door at the end of the corridor. This time, there was no need for a key. However, just like before, it was pulled outwards.
It seemed like all the doors here had to be pulled outwards and not pushed inwards.
Qiao Liang reached out and held the rusty black metal door handle. He was mentally prepared in advance.
He knew very well that opening the door to kill was a common trick in many horror scenes. It was easier to hide a door that was pulled outwards. No one knew what would jump out of this door.
However, after opening the metal door with caution, there was no corpse or other scary things falling out. Instead, there was normal light.
The walls were white, and the floor tiles were flat. The inside was like a normal hospital consultation room. There were a few relaxing landscape paintings hanging on the wall. There was only a desk, two chairs, a hospital bed, and an electrocardiograph beside the bed.
This made Qiao Liang feel the warmth of home and … confusion.
What was going on?
He almost thought that he had transmigrated.
He looked at the golden lantern in his hand. It seemed a little out of place in this scene.
The female doctor in the white coat smiled and said, "Hello.
I'm the doctor here. Before you continue, you need to do a simple electrocardiogram and psychological test. "
Qiao Liang lay on the hospital bed. The doctor began to wipe alcohol on the electrodes on his chest. It was just like a routine check-up in the hospital.
The female doctor did not look old. She was about thirty years old. Although she was not very beautiful, she always had a smile on her face. It made people feel comfortable.
Soon, the electrocardiogram was done. He would get the electrocardiogram in two minutes.
Qiao Liang reached for a tissue and wiped the alcohol off his body. Under the doctor's guidance, he came to the desk.
"Look at these pictures and tell me what you think of first."
Qiao Liang had an impression of these pictures. It seemed to be an 'ink test'. It was a projection personality test. The subject looked at these pictures. The content of his answers, reaction time, pause time, incidental actions, and so on would reflect some of his psychological state.
Qiao Liang did not know the details. He could only answer based on his first impression.
The biggest advantage of the projection method was that the intention of the question was hidden. Therefore, he could get a more realistic answer.
If it was a normal psychological test, there would often be ridiculous questions like 'do you think you are mentally ill?'. That would affect the accuracy of the test.
However, the projection method required the subject (doctor) to have professional knowledge. If it was a complete ink test, it would usually take more than twenty minutes. However, this level of test was mainly prepared for patients with real psychological problems.
The test here was only to determine the psychological state of the visitors. Therefore, it would not take that long. It was over in two minutes.
The doctor kept the pictures and nodded with a smile. "Very good. Don't be nervous. I'll take a look at your electrocardiogram."
The doctor took the printed electrocardiogram and sat on the chair opposite Qiao Liang.
"Congratulations, your test …"
Qiao Liang was filled with joy and thought that he could continue. However, at that moment, the doctor fell backward without any warning. At the same time, there was a loud bang. All the lights in the room went out!
The originally snow-white wall was instantly covered with all kinds of hideous and terrifying images. There were hideous roaring faces, twisted arms, and densely packed bloody handprints … These horrifying images of different colors emitted a faint fluorescent light and completely surrounded Qiao Liang!
For some reason, the green oil paintings from before had all turned blood-red.
Even the electrocardiogram test results in Qiao Liang's hand had a red fluorescent, twisted bloody handprint on the back of the paper!
Obviously, there were decorations in the room. All these images were drawn on the walls with transparent fluorescent materials. Once the lights were turned off, they would appear hideously!
At the same time, snickers came from around Qiao Liang. Some were sharp, some were low. They echoed in the entire space, causing Qiao Liang's psychological defense to collapse instantly!
Qiao Liang shouted and stood up to run. However, he seemed to trip on something. Fortunately, he held the table and did not fall.
The feeling of his ankle being dragged by something scared him. He subconsciously tried to shake his leg, but it was to no avail.
At the same time, the sinister and mocking laughter around him suddenly increased in decibels. It turned into crazy laughter. There were even voices laughing while panting and coughing.
Qiao Liang reached out to feel around in the chaos. Fortunately, it was just a simple noose tied around his leg. The other end of the noose was connected to the office table. The doctor who had fallen on the ground earlier was nowhere to be seen.
Obviously, the table and chair were set props. The table's four legs were completely fixed to the ground. There was a mechanism under the doctor's chair.
However, Qiao Liang had no time to think about these problems. He hurriedly lifted his leg to get rid of the noose. His first reaction was to run, trying not to look at the hideous graffiti on the wall. He ran to the bed where the electrocardiogram was taken and picked up the golden lantern on the table.
This was a life-saving thing!
However, at the same time, a blood-stained hand reached out from under the bed!
Qiao Liang was scared out of his wits. He ran to the entrance in a panic, but the door was locked automatically. He could not push it open no matter what!
Seeing that the monster under the bed was about to crawl out, Qiao Liang could only run to the other door in the room, which was the exit.
Obviously, when he was lying on the bed to take the electrocardiogram, this' monster 'had been quietly lying under the bed, waiting for him to turn back and pick up its golden lantern.
Qiao Liang opened the door in a panic and rushed out. However, the moment the door was pulled open, a corpse hung from the wall opposite him without any warning!
It was a small turn. After opening the door, they had to turn right. The 'corpse' was hanging on the wall directly opposite them with a noose around its neck. It was the female doctor who had tested Qiao Liang just now.
'She' was covered in blood and had an inexplicable smile on her face.
Obviously, this was a doll made based on the doctor. However, this realistic image coupled with the terrifying light still scared Qiao Liang.
After hesitating for two seconds, Qiao Liang hurriedly picked up the lantern and ran for his life!
